Exclusive: Interim Super. McKnight Secretly Hires Back Former Weast Dir. of Communications at $130 an hour [$270K a year +/-]

The Parents' Coalition has discovered that Interim Superintendent Monifa McKnight has at least one more secret hire.  McKnight has brought back former Superintendent Jerry Weast's Director of Communications, Aggie Alvez.  

Like the hiring of Eric Guerci, Alvez also does not appear in the MCPS online Staff Directory.  

Alvez's position has also not been approved by the Board of Education. There is no mention of Alvez's recent rehiring in any recent Board of Education minutes.

The Parents' Coalition has learned that Alvez has been hired at an hourly rate of $130.

Alvez began working in August of 2021 and will work at least through June of 2022. She will be using Derek Turner's former office in the MCPS Communications department and will be doing an audit of communications and reviewing a process map. 

Alvez's position is that of Special Assistant to the Superintendent  (click on images to enlarge)
